Connecting the TV signal sources

WARNING: Before connecting the TV to any other electronic device, unplug the TV and electronic device AC power cords from the AC power outlet.

The following is an explanation of the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable.

If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, screw it onto the ANT/Cable In connector on the rear of the TV:

A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with an F-type connector that can easily be attached to a connector without tools (sold separately).

A 300-ohm system is a flat, twin-lead cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm connector through a 300/75-ohm adapter (sold separately).

An F-type connector should be finger- tightened only. When connecting the RF cable to the TV, do not use tools to tighten the F-type connector, because this may cause damage to the TV.
